Posts are available with a single spike (SS) that goes into the ground or double spike (DS) that goes into the ground.

Post spikes are 8" long and 0.31" in diameter on the single spike posts.

Post spikes are 7" long and 0.31" in diameter on the double spike posts.

Posts are spaced every 12.5'

48" tall

Comes in 50' or 100' lengths

38 Ohms of resistance/1000 feet

Every net comes with 1 Warning Sign and 1 Repair Kit.

Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) comes with 2 clips on each end. 1 is to be hooked to the energizer like normal. The 2nd should be hooked to a ground rod. This is for places where the soil is very dry and the animals do not ground well.

Benefits

Sturdier than other nets with regular posts. Still easy to move if needed. Secure for a wide range of animals. Visible for animals against all back grounds. End posts act as built in gates. DS posts are more stable in soft soils.

Installation

See PDF and videos above for installation instructions.

Weed issues
Weeds must be controlled for ElectroFence to remain effective.
Either move and mow as needed during the growing season, or spray herbicide (see photos above) along the bottom strand of the net.If you can’t do this, ElectroFence may not be the right net for you.

Tip: A PowerLink 4.0 (see accessories tab above) is recommended to attach the grounded portion of the Positive/Negative net to the ground rod.

Remember...netting must always be properly electrified!

Precautions

This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in.

It is best to have animals trained to electric fencing before you turn them out in the net only. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.

Even though this net is more stable than other nets, extra posts may still be needed to keep the hot strands off of the ground.

Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. Warning! Do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting due to risk of fire. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing.

Dry or frozen ground many cause the NetPost spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.

Troubleshooting

If the voltage drops below 3000v on the net, you need to turn off the energizer and unhook the net from the energizer. Test just the energizer by itself. If the voltage is 5000v or higher on the energizer the problem is in the net. The most common problem is that the lowest 'hot' strand has been caught around one of the metal spikes on the posts and is shorting it out. The net must be at least 2" away from anything metal (metal posts, existing fences, spikes on support posts).

Warranty

With proper care, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated.

Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Write a Review

We have used ElectroFence for years with sheep. Now we have no sheep, but find it works really well for our dogs for the past 5 years. It really is great when we go RVing. Dogs are to be kept on a leash which makes none of us very happy. We have had no problems with any park when we put up the fence (1 length) around our rig. The dog gets to 'run' free and we aren't having to keep one hand occupied with the leash. We don't let the dog run in the yard unless we are there with him.

Since we have some very dry spells here in Central Texas in the summers, we purchased the pos/neg version of the 11/48/12 net for our Nubian goats. We've been able to set up temporary foraging areas for the adult does and another area for a doeling who is being weaned and her "companion" doe (not lactating). The most time consuming part of set up was mowing the tall native grass where we wanted to put the fence. The rest of the set-up was quick and easy. This is our first experience with electric fencing, and we couldn't be happier.

Last year we purchased an electric fence and this year we purchased the ElectroFence® 11/48/12 Electric Netting. Both are very good products. We will be constructing our own electric fence to keep deer out from around a quarter acre of orchard/garden. We will be using the very visible rope/wire, when we are ready. Deer have no predators on this island, except for human hunters..

Bought this to make semi permanent paddocks for our sheep. The hardest thing about installation was unrolling the nets. My wife and I installed 300' in less than a half hour. I installed posts at the corners and around a tree and there is little sag in the fence. So far it has kept our sheep in and dogs out.

My first time setting up any kind of electric fencing and with one quick call to Premier it went up smoothly. Very appreciative to have the instant help and a top quality fence. Also I didn't know what kind of fencing to get - I'm using it to keep my sheep safe at night - and received the guidance and really quick free shipping from your company. Thank you!

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Many of Premier’s nets feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity. These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than our “basic” nets. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

We do not recommended the basic nets listed below for fences exceeding 500 ft in length:

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen one of these or their farmstore equivalents. Why do we offer them? Because they are similar in design and conductivity (380 ohms) to nets from our competitors—and comparisons make decisions easier.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Single Spike (SS)The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.

Double Spike (DS)Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.

Drivable Posts (DP)Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between line posts

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between line posts

Essential Energizer Advice

Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
